I went to Zinc Bar on a Friday for my birthday and had a great time with friends! We got there about 7:30 which is early by LA standards, but that allowed us to snag the last couch section. A lot of people watching to be done as the place filled up. It was like seeing the typical Sunset entertainment industry-esque crowd transplanted to usually laidback Manhattan Beach. The seating was intimate enough that I was able to chat with my whole group. The noise level does increase quite a bit as the crowd moves in. The tapas style food servings were very yummy! My favorites were the Lobster Rolls, Sashimi, and Burgers (1 of ea: sirloin, chicken, and seared Ahi!). Dont let the small servings fool you. The food will definitely fill you up. There is also a good drink menu. The Mojitos were good, although my boyfriend had one later in the night and they seemed to be running low on lime...and rum. The Zinc Pink was also fun. And the melt-in-your-mouth chocolate cupcakes are a Must Have!
